Yo, that Oyster Sauce Chicken is like my "C.R.A.C.K.!" Lol! I've been on a Shoyu Chicken/Oyster Sauce Chicken binge as of late, and Mark's Drive Inn has been feeding my crack cravings! You can get this dish with noodles, cake noodles, or your standard two scoops rice & mac salad. Either way you get 'em, no can go wrong! The Oyster Sauce Chicken comes out hot, with a nice crispy skin, and gravy all ovah! I've been getting my fix with noodles as of late, but I must tell you if you do get this plate......be ready to eat, as the portions are more than generous! Of course Mark's Drive Inn serves an array of items, but I guess I'm a creature of habit, and know what I like. Nothing wrong with that, no??? Service here is on point, as the folks are friendly, and will bring out the food to you once your meal is ready. The restaurant is very small, but there are several vinyl booths within the restaurant which you can sit & eat if you choose to eat at the restaurant. Just writing up this review, only makes me think of more Oyster Sauce Chicken.........ummmmmmmmmmm! read more

Had time for a quick lunch and we were craving hamburger steak with gravy. Mark's is a consistent plate lunch place and it's affordable! Friendly service and food is cooked quickly and piping hot. The seating area is very limited so try to get there on off hours. We've been going to this place for over a decade I think and the food is still super ono, I highly recommend this place if you work close to the "Ice Palace Skating Rink". read more

Ordered two lunch plates that I saw the reviews on Yelp of their Garlic Fried Chicken and chicken tonkatsu plate that are generous with their portions. Indeed portions are enough for two. I tried calling in but their phone kept ringing until hung up so I drove there to to place my order. Yes, their portions are generous for the garlic fried chicken. If it's karaage it'll be a different taste and coating fried chicken which I miss so much after my return here. I could make it but I've retired to cooking . Nonetheless Mark's been at the Stadium Mall for the longest time but never venture into their take outs or dine in at their tiny cozy place. read more

I go to Mark's when I'm craving fried rice. Love their pork or shrimp fried rice. Wish they would make it a combo.

When to order tomato beef over cake noodle and they wanted to charge me $21.60!! That's crazy expensive. I said forget it.

Love the delicious, juicy and crispy goodness of the chicken from Mark's Drive Inn. You can't beat the low price of a $12.75 combo of bbq chicken and katsu. This mini portion of lemon chicken was also a winner. Found in the shopping complex with Ice Palace, there is a lot of parking. #bigboyproblems read more

Marks is always great for cheap eats. Oyster sauce chicken, the mushroom chicken and the cold ginger chicken is my tops. If you order cold ginger chicken ask for extra sauce, of course they charge a little bit extra but its worth it especially when you see how massive the pieces are! More meat than bones which is a plus always. Mushroom chicken has a lot of musroom and a lot of onions and chicken. Oyster sauce chicken plate is a massive and tasty. Not too much room to eat inside and the restaurant itself is very compact. read more

Super fast cooking! Lemon chicken- no different than l&l - fairly dried out. But if you eat it right away, it may still be juicy. Breaded pork chop - sorry but terrible. Had to throw the whole thing away. Very thin, very dry. Bittermelon - parents enjoyed it. read more

On Tuesday, 11/26/24, at 11:30a I stopped by at Mark's Drive Inn to pick up lunch. I ordered the Beef with Bittermelon plate lunch. It came with 2 scoops of rice and a Mac salad. The Bittermelon was cooked perfectly with a crisp vegetable crunch and covered with a savory black bean sauce. The delectable beef married well with the stir fried combination. Although this place is small, there are some seats if you need to eat inside. Overall, this is a great place to pick up something quick to eat. I will be back again and get something else at Mark's Drive Inn. read more

Ordered my usual BBQ chicken plate but was very disappointed. Chicken was dry and over cooked,. The pieces had some crunchy cartilage, and i think it was prepared different. I'm going to give them one more try in the future. If i get the same negative results, I'm done with them. read more

Parking was very limited in the area. Finally found a space and walked in. There were no sitting spaces so it was take out only. I placed my order for a chicken teriyaki and waited about 15 minutes. I drove home and was not happy with the taste, I will not return for a round 2. read more

I have been here before but never remembered to put in a review. I concentrated on the Chinese dishes this time as I have been looking for a Gon Lo Mein like I could get at the now closed House of Dragon in Pearl City. While Mark's version is different ( thick noodles, no egg), it tasted pretty good with good wok hei flavor. This one is the closest to what I'm looking for with its drier-style noodles (not covered in gravy). The Oyster Sauce Chicken was so flavorful and plentiful. We also ordered the Sweet and Sour Spareribs which was plentiful and has good flavor, but some of the pieces were a bit tough. Probably another 15-20 minutes of cooking would have helped. I have to say the place was packed when we went at 11:30 on a Saturday and parking was tight, although lots of parking under the freeway if you don't mind walking a bit. Probably Tip: Call your order in if you don't want to wait for your food to be prepared. read more

Great food and happy gentleman who took my order. Looks like a hike in the wall place but often times these are hidden gems.

easy fast takeout. convenient parking, central location. party pans too. Good beef brocoli small tray

This is one of the top 5 hole in the wall joints in my book. I have absolutely loved this place from the early 2000's. Food has been consistent, prices have always been affordable and their service has always been right on time, I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 minutes when a phone order was place. Even when I am a walk in the food is ready in 10 minutes. This is a place I crave. read more

Mark's Drive Inn - Mixed plate. Which one you ask? Katsu, BBQ Chicken and hamburger steak. FTW - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mark's Drive-In: Come for the Menu, Stay for the Burger Glow-Up Mark's Drive-In has a whole menu of options, but let's be real we locked eyes with the burgers and fries and never looked back. And honestly? No regrets. The burger is the definition of "don't fix what isn't broken." Just a patty, cheese, and bun, but somehow it delivers flavor like it trained at culinary boot camp. Juicy, cheesy, and cooked like it knew we were coming. The fries? A whole avalanche of them. Crispy, golden, not too salty, not too oily basically fries that mind their business and do their job very well. Service was lightning fast and super friendly, like they knew we were starving and wanted to make our day better. Mission accomplished. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but for now, burgers and fries have officially earned a spot in our hearts and probably in our glove compartment, because we couldn't wait to eat. read more

Mark's Drive Inn - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lunch from Salt Lake, Honolulu, Hawaii... I've been here before because Bruddah Fran said that his friend's Garlic fried Chicken smelled good and was boneless... haha... even though Bruddah Fran had the oyster sauce chicken. And - gosh, darn - Joyce L. recommended the Chinese chicken cake noodles. I'll just have to go back again! Located at Stadium Mall - where Ice Palace is... but the smaller building - on the end - Mark's Drive Inn is an old school, comfort food type of place. Inside is cozy if you want to dine-in. Most people were doing takeout. After I parked for free in the shared lot, I went in and looked at the picture menu and the Specials board. I didn't see the Garlic Fried Chicken, so the nice lady pointed it out to me. I told her that my friend said that the Garlic Fried Chicken was really good. I almost got the Beef Tomato, but she said many people get the Garlic Fried Chicken. Okay, I'll try it! That's what I ordered. It sounded like the nice lady was arguing with the kitchen staff, but that's how Chinese language is. It's loud and "straight to the point". I didn't understand a word, but I knew they weren't fighting. LOL! When I got my order, I told her, "See you again!" She just laughed. At home, I happily chomped on the tasty, crunchy chicken skin! The outer layer of meat was cooked well, and the inner meat was moist and tender. I didn't eat much of the rice, but I did try the macaroni salad - it was on the watery side. The mayonnaise was kind of diluted. I'll be back to try other dishes (my mom would like bittermelon beef) and ask for that cake noodle that's not on the menu... Note: I did pay cash. I'm not sure if they accept credit cards. read more

I belong to this FB group that posts ono food around the island and a number of people kept posting food from Mark's. I couldn't wait to give them a try! I drove out from Waikiki, ordered the lemon chicken and waited in the small cozy dining room. I guess you can eat inside if you like. The friendly woman shouted "mushroom chicken? mushroom chicken?" looking over at me. I told her I ordered lemon chicken. She admitted she made a mistake, and I think was going to have the kitchen make the lemon, but I took the mushroom because I was hungry. It was very good! So I went back for second lunch today, and the not so friendly man took my order. I waited inside, and when it was ready he called out "lemon chicken. Is it to go?" which I replied "yes." He then just put it in the ba and handed it to me without even saying "thank you." But dang, that lemon chicken was soooo ONOOOOO! I would definitely go back, just to get food to go! Mahalo Mark! read more

Today I ordered the lemon chicken and fried rice. The lemon chicken lived up to all the hype my fellow helpers posted about. The chicken batter had seasoning so it could be eaten without the sauce. It's good. They do have fried rice on the menu but it's blocked by the altar. No worry, you guys never miss anything about that fried rice. It didn't have much flavor and very lil chicken but they do give a lot. Prices are reasonable but I would have to say that this place has the smaller plate to make it look like more food. Iykyk. read more

First time here based on a friend's recommendation. Tried to call in, twice, to place a take out order but they did not pick up their phone. So next best thing was to check out the photos and reviews here on yelp (can always trust foodies), and saw some really appetizing entrees. One in particular was the minute chicken cake noodle. One photo had a big container of gravy/ sauce to pour onto the cake noodle. I ended up ordering this in store because they wouldn't pick up their phone. At the register, the female (probably the owner/ owner's wife) took my order and then informed me that the cake noodle was gonna cost extra. Still ordered it, and the total was 18$ and some change. By the way, cake noodle is $3.75 per the worker in case you're wondering, and the photo I mentioned earlier with the big container of gray/ sauce is not part of it because it's already on the cake noodle. All in all, the cake noodle was on point. Chicken could've been less salty. I could already feel my hands stiffening up. Just kidding. Maybe in the morning when I wake up. It got pretty busy during the short time I was waiting for my food. Maybe next time I'll order the shrimp with lobster sauce. Mmm... Check em out! read more

Mark's Drive Inn has been around for decades and I used to frequent there years ago but I started to liking the food at Stadium Giant Malts and BBQ. I remember Mark's putting big portions into their take out containers so it was always a good bargain. I was having a hard time deciding where I would go to get take out for lunch. Mark's popped in my mind, so I drove down there and ordered a mini hamburger steak. The lunchroom was full at lunchtime, most conversing with the lady who worked there so it seemed there are a lot of regulars. I took my lunch home and was pleasantly surprised that my hamburger steak was really delicious. The patties seemed like handmade small and thin hamburger. The star was the gravy, darker than you are used to but really tasty. The prices here are like $8 minis and about $13 or less for full plates, so really reasonable. I will be returning again to try most of the menu. read more
